story3 positive mentions
  • Unique and fun concept of playing as a werewolf rampaging through waves of enemies.
  • Humorous and likable main character with witty dialogue adds charm to the gameplay.
  • Engaging arcade-style beat 'em up gameplay with a heavy metal soundtrack that enhances the experience.
  • Game is very difficult and unforgiving, with player dying after just a few hits and no health bar.
  • Limited content with only one map and a single achievement, leading to reduced replay motivation.
  • Some control and mechanical issues, such as inconsistent dodge direction and occasional enemy respawn problems.

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for being engaging, fast-paced, and well-designed, with interesting mechanics such as those in Skyrim's werewolf mode and smooth attack animations. However, some users find certain mechanics challenging or wonky, particularly difficulty spikes and ragdoll-related issues, though these are often seen as acceptable given the game's scope or price.

    • “Skyrim handles werewolves shockingly well, even having interesting mechanics with the Dawnguard DLC, despite not ever being advertised as a werewolf game. It's the best one available I've seen in the style of game it chooses.”
    • “The gameplay mechanics, idea, music, all of it kept me going.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and fast paced, and the attacks are pretty smooth.”
    • “Mechanic-wise, it's a simpler single-level Hotline Miami.”
    • “I don't like how hard it is to get past the tank enemy in this game, so I gave up trying to get past that part. The mechanics are kind of wonky, though the game is good graphics-wise and gameplay-wise, and it being free and short, some issues are expected.”
    • “It's a bit hard sometimes to land your attacks due to the ragdoll mechanics.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is initially subtle and minimal, revealed through character quotes, but offers an engaging backdrop centered on the protagonist's quest. It effectively complements the gameplay, adding depth and motivation to combat progression.

    • “In the former, you have a great story and perks to make combat even better, and you work toward your character having an easier time fighting.”
    • “At first it doesn't seem that there is much of a story, but if you listen closely to Frank's starting quotes (that's you, the werewolf), you can paint a picture.”
    • “But hey - hopefully one day there's a full game about Frank bulldozing everywhere on a mad quest to hunt down the legendary t-shirt size extra large for that perfect fit!”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is highly praised for its heavy metal soundtrack, which perfectly complements the chaotic and intense gameplay. Players find the music energetic and fitting, enhancing the overall wild and entertaining experience.

    • “The gameplay mechanics, idea, music, all of it kept me going.”
    • “Between the chaos of gun fire, exploding produce shelves, a werewolf tearing down aisles and the awesome heavy metal soundtrack, this is wild entertainment in its purest form.”
    • “Music's bomb, pretty fitting for a werewolf rampage.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor is characterized by the main character's hilariously cheesy dialogue, adding a lighthearted and entertaining element to the game.

    • “The dialogue of our main character is hilariously cheesy.”

  • graphics

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
